Chapter 242: The Heroine in the Spotlight
Chu Huai looked at Chu Cassia Ming, frowned, and said, "When did you get a girlfriend?"
"Not long ago, I have been ...... I haven't had a chance to bring it back and show it to my dad. ”
Chu Cianming put down the chopsticks in his hand, and spoke weakly.
Chu Hemeng looked at their father and son in confusion, it was hard to believe that Chu Cassia had never mentioned the matter of Wuni. When you are in the bookstore, don't you always see them dear and loving to me......? Chu Cianming didn't mention it......
Chu Hemeng immediately frowned, could it be that Chu Cassia just wanted to play with Wuni?
Chu Huai noticed Chu Hemeng's face, and immediately smiled reluctantly: "Since it's your girlfriend, when it's empty, you should bring it home for Dad to see, and when you see that you finally have a girlfriend, Dad can rest assured!"
"I'll arrange it. ”
The dishes on the dinner table gradually became cold from this moment on.
At the end of lunch, Xing Haodong, Chu Hemeng, and He Lu were cleaning up in the kitchen.
Chu Cianming pushed Chu Huai back to the room to take medicine, and as soon as the door was closed, Chu Huai immediately slapped his palm on the armrest of the wheelchair and roared: "You say! Mengmeng's girlfriend, what's the matter? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"Dad, how dare I forget?" Chu Cianming frowned, "I promised you that before Mengmeng was not happy, I would love her wholeheartedly, and I would not make other girlfriends to make Mengmeng feel that I no longer cared about her...... Dad doesn't care about her anymore......"
"Do you remember, but how did you do that? How did that Wuni come out?"
Facing the angry Chu Huai, Chu Cassia had to tell it all.
"Since you're just a girl who runs a bookstore, breaking up won't affect you anything!"
Chu Cianming's face sank, and he shouted: "Dad! I really like her! Wu Ni is a very good child, she is also Meng Meng's friend, if I suddenly break up with Wu Ni, Meng Meng will also be unhappy! Besides, Meng Meng now has Xing Haodong by her side, they are very happy together, and after I am with Wu Ni, I also love Meng Meng as before!"
Chu Huai frowned, "Sincerely, you are the second person to discuss sincerity in front of me." Xing Haodong is not the home of Meng Meng's happiness, and I will not agree that they are together. So, you have to break up with Wuni immediately and take care of Mengmeng!"
"Dad!"
Chu Huai's eyes were raised, and his gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, pierced straight into Chu Cassia Ming's heart.
The corners of Chu Cianming's mouth trembled, and he hesitated for a long time before he said reluctantly: "I know, Dad!"
"Let's go down, I'm still waiting to open the gift!"
Chu Huai's hand pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair, and the wheelchair automatically turned the wheels forward.
Chu Cassia froze stiffly in place, his annoyed hands clenched into fists, and his face was gloomy.
In the kitchen, He Lu looked at Xing Haodong and Chu Hemeng who were playing with each other, and her face was extremely bad.
After Chu Huai and Chu Cassia went downstairs, everyone gathered under the Christmas tree, unpacking the gifts that Chu Huai brought back from abroad. Chu Cassia is a violin with a long history, but now he would rather use this violin in exchange for Chu Huai's approval; He Lu's gift is the only dress designed by a French design master, and she can't help but thank you.
"Mengmeng, I don't know what you like, do you still like it?"
Chu Huai couldn't wait and looked at Chu Hemeng with anticrisy, Chu Hemeng slowly opened the gift box, and was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded. In addition to an old-fashioned photo frame, there is also a very shabby small photo album that has been burned by fire. In the photo frame is a group photo of their family of four in front of the broken house, Chu Hemeng seems to have just been born not long ago, and he was still held in his mother's arms.
Chu Hemeng looked at Chu Huai in disbelief, and Chu Huai said with feeling: "This is what I and Cassia found from the ruins after the fire that year. This is the only thing we have left, and it is also the baby that has been with me all these years. Seeing them, you and your mother are as if they were still with me......"
Chu Hemeng trembled and caressed the glass surface of the photo frame, and slowly opened the album, many of the photos in it were burned and mutilated, but they could still see the environment they lived in at that time. Chu Hemeng, who babbled, Chu Cassia who played with old toys that others didn't want, and Qin Youshan, who was mending on the side......
Pages of yellowed old photo albums carried Chu Hemeng back to the past like a time machine.
Xing Haodong looked at Chu Hemeng silently, smiled meaningfully, and silently turned around and left the living room.
Chu Huai told Chu Hemeng the story behind the photo, although Chu Cassia was concerned about Wu Ni, but looking at these memories, he couldn't help but fall into it and couldn't extricate himself. He Lu looked at the appearance of their family of three reminiscing about the past, and suddenly felt cold in her heart, always feeling that no matter what she did, no matter how much she did, it would be impossible for her to take Chu Hemeng's place.
He Lu bit her red lip, retreated unhappily, and when she saw Xing Haodong in the courtyard, she walked up quickly.
"I heard that you broke up with Chu Hemeng, didn't you?"
Xing Haodong turned his head and said with a smile: "Who did you listen to?"
He Lu's eyelashes twitched, and he said, "Yesterday, Han Dongsheng brought Han Chenyi to the house, it was he and his father who said it. ”
Xing Haodong's brows furrowed, "What are they doing here?" Han Dongsheng and the Chu family have nothing to do with each other!"
"I don't understand either, but listening to their conversation yesterday, it looks like they've known each other decades ago. ”
He Lu deliberately told Xing Haodong about the conversation she overheard upstairs last night, especially Han Chenyi's true words, as well as the secrets of Han Dongsheng and Chu Huai for 29 years. Xing Haodong was confused after hearing this, he was not born twenty-nine years ago, did Chu Huai and Han Dongsheng already have entanglements?
"You've never heard your father mention what happened twenty-nine years ago?"
He Lu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Han Dongsheng last night, I wouldn't have known at all." ”
"That's what I'm going to follow, you remember not to tell anyone!"
Xing Haodong immediately stopped talking, because he saw Chu Hemeng coming over. He Lu raised her eyebrows and returned to the house with a puff of toe. Xing Haodong put his arm around Chu Hemeng's shoulders and said, "What's wrong? Wasn't it okay just now? Why did you cry?"
Chu Hemeng snorted, hugged Xing Haodong, and choked up: "No...... I'm just, just ...... all at once."
"I understand!" Xing Haodong patted Chu Hemeng's back and comforted, "Everything is over, and your mother can rest in peace if she has a spirit in the sky!"
The snow fell from the sky like catkins, jumping on them like elves guarding them.
Chu Huai looked at them through the window, his face was not happy, and Chu Cassia Ming stood beside him, not knowing what he was whispering.
He Lu received a call from Han Runcheng when he entered the door, so he could only go around to the backyard to answer the phone.
A family in a house, each hiding an unspeakable secret, and Christmas passed like this.
Chu Hemeng returned to the stage and became the most gorgeous and bleak Juliet in the spotlight.
This play was performed until a week after Christmas, although it was performed by three actors in rotation, and each show was full at first, but later, as time went on, only Chu Hemeng's performance was full.
When the other two actresses performed, most of the seats in the audience were often empty, and many people left in the middle, which was a great humiliation for the drama actors!
Later, in order to make more money, the director of the theater even asked Chu Hemeng to replace the other two actresses and play Juliet in the scene.
Ye Lanying and the two actresses didn't think the problem was here, but when Chu Hemeng became the only heroine, the venue was full, just like the premiere.
When the reporter interviewed the audience, he found that many people had watched it many times, and they also showed that they were coming for Juliet, and the name even overshadowed Milo, which everyone never expected.
"It seems that I will have to follow you in the future!"
After the last game, Chu Hemeng had just taken off his makeup and happened to meet Milo.
Chu Hemeng smiled shyly and said, "Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today, you are my indispensable mentor and friend!"
"My credit is not small!" Han Chenyi walked over with a light smile and said, "The reporters have already been arranged, just waiting for you!"
Milo patted Han Chenyi on the shoulder and entered the field first.
When Chu Hemeng wanted to pass by Han Chenyi, he suddenly grabbed her hand, and only then did he realize that she had an extra bracelet of crosses. Chu Hemeng's heart was a little flustered, as if he had done something sorry for Han Chenyi, and hurriedly said, "At Christmas, Qiqi gave it to me." ”
Han Chenyi smiled, didn't care, and only said quietly: "After the interview, I will give you a surprise, just as a Christmas gift from me!"
Chu Hemeng was puzzled, he just smiled mysteriously, didn't explain, just took her hand and sent her in.
The flash was frequently aimed at Chu Hemeng, she didn't expect that there would be so many people, a little distracted, Milo gentleman walked up to lead her, and whispered: "Mentor and friend, now it plays a role again?"
"Thanks, I'm sure I'm dead. ”
"I believe that you are the most perfect, and only self-confidence can bloom your brilliance!"
Milo gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Chu Hemeng, and said encouragement in her ear, Chu Hemeng showed a smile.
The reporters' questions basically revolved around Chu Hemeng, and the reporters didn't let go of any of her previous experiences and her relationship with Ye Lanying. However, because Han Chenyi had greeted him beforehand, these reporters did not ask difficult questions. The press conference ended quickly, and Han Chenyi really brought a gift as he said, but this gift turned out to be a big living person......
